Hello everyone

Hi all,this is the response i sent to Alex, (Thanks Alex,Thanks for the welcome!) back in July,and as it's just been 'bounced' back as of 12th October! thought i'd post here as well as the P.M. AND e-mail i sent to Alex directly.

Will get around to writing an intro, just 'to many jobs, too little time'!!You know, the 'modellers curse', or excuse!!

Also, being a 'Brit' i struggle with Maltese, all going great, in English,then someone switches language and that's me shot!!

The site is great, the modelling is terrific, and is anybody coming over tothe nationals this November? If so, i'm taking up knitting!

BUT, can someone bring a 'spare' SSM polo shirt over for me, size XL! Oh,and a case of Cisk, case of the local wine................!

Reading the 'thread' on Euromilitare i totally agree, Who'd be a judge? OR,teach me to swear in Maltese!!

Went down to the R.A.F. Museum last year, had a club member enter somesuperbly painted figures, what did he get? NOTHING,

not even placed, he recently finished one NEW figure, for the manufacturer,to be used as the box art, so his standard is 'reasonable'!

Bit about me, been a member of I.P.M.S. on and off for years, first nationals i attended were at Stoneleigh in Warwickshire back in '80. Moved 'up country' and joined my first club, I.P.M.S. Cleveland in '04.

Since then, have attended all of the nationals, Oopps, S.M.W. (not QUITE asold as 'Il nannu pec', just GETTING there!)

visited Malta for the first time in '08, stayed in Mellieha, liked it somuch returned this year on honeymoon, week in Valletta, then a week on Gozo, and we want to MOVE!!!

Well that's it for know, see you on the forums, and hopefully at SMW in Telford.P.S. bring SUNSHINE!!

So you know three words in Maltese.... that's great! If you stick around this forum you will start adding more words to your Maltese vocabulary....... because as you rightly pointed out we do have a habit to switch to a few Maltese words!

Hey Pawlu.....Welcome aboard habib.....glad to have you in the clan....I miss the Nationals ...don't think we re going this year...but hopefully next year I am planning to come up....would be nice to meet our old friends...

Take Care Pawlu and warmest wishes from little MaltaIn nannu pec PS that means Granda pec because I 'm the oldest codger in the club
